There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.

Happiness answers to your own verdict in a way that understanding does not. If you find your life good, it largely is good, since the feeling and the judgment are much the same thing. Deciding that you are the clearest thinker in the room works the other way around. The certainty removes the doubt that was doing the real work, and you stop checking the places where you are most likely wrong.

Take the good in your week at face value this time, without auditing whether you have earned it. Save your suspicion for the opinions you hold most confidently.
